Considering GB has me on ignore, tell him the game is not played on paper, but on a football field.
Having said that, Spurs still have a better squad. Be interesting to see who Rodgers brings in. Are you guys linked with anybody?
Also just saw that thing about Ba/Cisse. One of them were linked with Gala last week, can't remember which one though.
How many fecking winger-cum-forwards do they need?
Debatable as to whether or not Spurs have a better squad. Also be interesting to see the in's and out's in the summer. We have been linked to a host of players as usual. Gaston Ramirez, Jackson Martinez, Luuk DeJong, Sigurdsson, Diame, Kalou, A.Johnson, Sturridge... list goes on and on and on.
Hahaha ok champDebatable??? Sorry, but it's clear as daylight that we have a far better squad. Who knows how much your lot will improve over the summer, but you'd have to spend a stack of money to even come close to what Spurs are now.
The mighty Gareth Bale with the fantastic Jermain Defoe up front. I'm sure City are shaking in their boots.
There's nobody genuinely class in the spurs squad. Better than the sum of their parts IMO Van Der Vaart is good, not great, and Modric looks to be on his way out. Not that I've ever quite seen the hype that's been generated around him. There's better midfielders out there.
Being deadly serious. I can't see what the fuss is about. Without Adebayor they don't look a side with the capabilities of challenging for the title, which according to the majority of pundits back around febuary they were apparently capable of doing. I see them more as a good side on a good run, rather than a side that's particularly strong. The end of their season kind of showed that IMO, were pretty piss poor at best.
And as for Modric, they're getting an absolute steal if they get Sahin and any kind of money for him. Sahin has class and is young. Modric I've never seen put in the kind of performance that makes me think of him as a world class midfielder. Wouldn't get on the team for Madrid, or Barcelona, Bayern is debateable and I certainly wouldn't take him in the side for Dortmund. I'm seriously struggling to see what all the fuss is about.
Well, you're a team that's now failed to qualify for the champions league twice in a row. That's far from top quality mate! I'd take Arsenals squad over yours, I'd certainly take both the United squads over yours, despite all of united's flaws, and I think I might take the Liverpool squad over yours, though that one could go either way. Take away Adebayors goals and I honestly think you'd have struggled as much as Liverpool did for much of this year. Throw in that you ended up losing your bottle when going for the title and you've got a bunch of players that can't hold their nerve. The fact your manager has left, the fact that a number of your key players are rumoured to be leaving without too much coming back in (with the exception of the ridiculous Sahin deal) and you're looking at a squad that doesn't look close to getting near champions league in coming seasons. Especially if these deals go through, I'd definitely see more promise in the Liverpool side. Bale and Defoe aren't going to strike fear into the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
And before I see the obvious "Arsenal had poor patches too" retort. Having a poor patch after losing your best players from the previous season is almost expected. Going through a poor run is criminal when you're "vying for the title" and your team has been settled for the best part of 7 months. Shouldn't be happening if you've apparently got a world class squad.

I think LFC have a betterr squad than Spurs. Key summer for both clubs though. Adebayor will be missed at Tottenham. Defoe is just about their only striker isnt he and he is average.
BTW with Torres now a full time starter Liverpool will have the most expensive bench in world football
Reina
Johnson Agger Skrtel Enrique
Gerrard Lucas
Suarez Gylfi ???
???
Doni Coates Carragher Adam Henderson Downing Carroll
8 + 6 + 17 + 18 + 35
84 million pound bench if things turn out the way they should. This is why you wont be spending 30 mill+ like most LIverpool fans expect. That matchday squad would be the third most expensive I reckon, even ahead of Man United + Tottenham + Arsenal
That's what I meant though, our squad was assembled for peanuts.Arsenal's squad would be expensive enough if you sold it. It was just acquired in a very Wenger-esque manner

I'd easily have them as favourites to win the Premier League if they signed him.
